For those who have an artificial Christmas tree, in the box and up in the attic it goes.

The quick and easy clean-up is one of the benefits of having a fake tree.

No pine needles on the floor or sap on your hands.

If you have a real Christmas tree, and you're ready to toss it, the cleanup process is a little more involved.

How do you get rid of it?

Instead of just leaving it at the curb, the Ocean County Parks Department is asking residents to recycle their trees at one of the many drop-off locations throughout Ocean County.

The trees that are collected are turned into wood chips, according to Patch.com.

It says the wood chips will be used throughout the county for different landscaping projects.

The mulch will also be available to Ocean County residents.

Here's a list of collection sites...

• Cattus Island County Park, Toms River
• Cloverdale Farm County Park, Barnegat
• Wells Mills County Park, Waretown
• Ocean County Park, Lakewood
• Beaver Dam County Park, Point Pleasant
